Congressman Cohen spoke on the House floor in support of the measure. See those remarks here. He later released this statement:

“Everyone is fed up with robocalls. I seldom answer my land line when I’m home because it’s invariably a robocall. These calls are annoying, disruptive, and could be harmful. The Stopping Bad Robocalls Act will help protect consumers with innovative tools to stop these abusive practices and restrict unauthorized robocalls.”

According to The Washington Post, Americans received 26.3 billion unwanted robocalls last year, up 46 percent from the previous year.
